OMG!, my wife must see this thread, so she stops complaining about me having too many racquets, hahaha. Just like saqdeez, I have bought around 10 frames lately, also one of each. Im looking for the perfect racquet for my game, so I dont get why you get so many of them. I will do that once I find the holy grail... Besides those are so different from one to another, I just cant see someone playing with a LM Radical and then switching to a PS 85.

If you guys have $ burning a hole in your pocket and love tennis, how about donating some racquets or $ to a local program...I'm sure there are lots of kids who would love to benefit from your problem.

Just curious, out of the Head Prestige (mid) models you've acquired or hit with which one did you like the best?

Right now it's a tie between PC 600 and Spalding ATP Tour Pro Stock 200 (Prestige mold), followed by LMP, FXP and i.Prestge. Honestly, they all play very different despite the similar shape and look. I don't know why they have the same name.

I am having a similar problem, although I did not buy as much as you did. Just this past weekend I thought of two things to help myself (not to buy again).

1. Leave a negative feedback about myself so no one would want to deal with me.

2. Add a post saying I would pay any seller an extra $50 if we agree on a deal.

Of course these won't work. :-(

Going to browse the FS section now! ;-)

HAHAHA, these are very creative solutions. I've been trying to stay away from FS forum but that's the first thing I check every morning followed by the auction site (haven't bought ANYTHING there yet) and other FS places on the net.

Luckily, it's cost-prohibitive for me to buy single frames, over-priced rarities and I can't stand poor quality. So, that narrows down my choices a bit.

Ok, I'll get a Redonto from your list. As for the store, many of you guys are missing my point. It's not about getting all the good racquets. I'm pretty much getting just the best mid-sized frames that suit my game.

I posted the racquet here after I got it and ppl said there is nothing special about it. It looked nice on my wall and played very smooth but the OS head is too big and light for me. Why do you think it's a gem?

Oh. Guess I was thinking of the Mid+(if there is such a thing!). I thought I read that they were rare and coveted by the people who use them and are always looking for more. I know one dude in real life who introduces himself to anyone he meets on the court by asking if they know where more can be found. He's desperate!

Disregard all previous advice and/or comments. I am a certified doctor for this disease, and i ensure you that i will get you through it.

First, breathe. Then, buy two mfil 300's. Those will slow you down as they are great and you won't want anything for at least another month.

While you withdraw, just send me a racquet a week. If things start to get better, increase the dosage to two a week. ONLY if you feel that you are ready though. I totally want the focus of the treatment to be on my patients.

Rafaello send me a few of those wilson prostaffs and n90s! You will feel better afterwards. I wish I had that many, but I would have 5 n90's 5 ps6.0's and 5 mf200's instead of like 20 different racquets. Hope you find a holy grail. Best of luck!

Start selling them off and use this saved money to take some tennis lessons. You'll tend to stay with one type of racket and improve in the process. I find people are always changing sticks looking for the "holy grail". Lessons and practice r it. If Fed practices then so should we!

Thanks, that would still be a difficult task. I'm still deciding between 4 n90, 4 PS85 and a few PC 600. There are all different and awesome frames. And then comes Spalding ATP and RDX 500. What do you do? ... sigh ...

2 ionutzakis:

Good point, man. I didn't think about it in these terms. I play not with the specs but with whatever feels comfortable for me. So here you go:

- what lenght do you like playing with? STANDARD.
- what headsize do you prefer? 85-90
- what swingweight? OVER 400g LEADED
- what stiffness do you like? IDEALLY UNDER 60
- what string density? THIS IS A TOUGH ONE. IT DEPENDS. OPEN ON 85/90, TIGHT ON 93, I GUESS.

whatever, you say you are looking for the best playing racquet and the quickly dismiss the RDS001 because the color disagrees with you... you are entitled to that opinion, but that is a silly reason not to try it. when you are all consumed with your endless quest for the Holy Grail... just remember, the RDS001 was right in front of you .. and you rejected it!

Only those who are pure of heart can SEE the grail!
Others are blinded by its miraculous light emitting from its paint, the bright yellow contains all the energy from the sun.
Cleanse your mind, control your greed, and only then will you become worthy to even touch the beatific wonder of the RDS!

Spasibo, Vitaly. Ya podumaju.

Good point. I'm actually considering adding RDS 001 so I could do an RDX 500 pj on it . I also "discovered" Volkl T-10 V-engine mid with its 18mm beam (hmmm ... sexy). Will do some research. Any other recommendations?
